Ekonomi Malaysia menunjukkan daya tahan terhadap ketidaktentuan ekonomi dunia, dengan disokong pelaksanaan Program Transformasi Kerajaan dan Program Transformasi Ekonomi yang berjaya.

Menteri Perdagangan Antarabangsa dan Industri, Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed, berkata kedua-dua program itu mengubah negara daripada dipacu input, gaji rendah dan kurang kemahiran kepada ekonomi berasaskan inovasi, teknologi dan kemahiran nilai tambah.

Ekonomi Malaysia Berdaya Tahan

"Inovasi dan peningkatan produktiviti akan mengorak laluan untuk Malaysia mencapai matlamat menjadi negara maju menjelang 2020," katanya berucap pada majlis makan malam tahunan Persekutuan Majikan Malaysia (MEF) 2016.

Beliau berkata, Malaysia perlu melaksanakan beberapa perubahan asas menyeluruh untuk melonjakkan pertumbuhan produktiviti bagi mencapai pertumbuhan tahunan 3.7 peratus mengikut sasaran Rancangan Malaysia Ke-11 (RMK-11). Sejumlah usaha strategik yang menumpukan produktiviti dan inovasi di peringkat nasional dan negeri dilaksanakan oleh kerajaan mengikut rancangan itu, katanya.

Mengenai agenda pembangunan modal insan negara, Mustapa berkata, kementerian itu dan MEF akan menumpukan usaha di samping perkongsian dengan kementerian berkaitan, industri serta institusi Pendidikan dan Latihan Teknikal dan Vokasional (TVET).

"Kapasiti TVET akan dipertingkatkan dengan peruntukan RM4.6 bilion di bawah Bajet 2017 untuk menaik taraf kemudahan dan peralatan pendidikan.

"Bajet 2017 turut menyediakan RM360 juta untuk latihan kepada lepasan sekolah dan belia bekerja di bawah Perbadanan Tabung Pembangunan Kemahiran, sekali gus akan meningkatkan kebolehpasaran mereka," katanya.

Beliau berkata, langkah pengurangan cukai berganda untuk syarikat swasta yang menawarkan program latihan industri berstruktur kepada graduan atau pelatih TVET juga akan meningkatkan penyertaan industri dan jumlah bakat tempatan berkemahiran.

“What is this life if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughsAnd stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth canEnrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,We have no time to stand and stare.”

Smell theRoses

Poem by Welsh poet W. H. Davies,
